Not to be a jerk, but what kind of features does 1.1 Talisman have over something like HyperWRT? I tried 1.0.4 of Talisman *cough and it does about the same but acts funny, is ugly and not so well arranged.
Truthfully, the sveasoft software has gone nowhere in the last year or so. I was a subscriber from the beginning (it was actually a pretty cool project two years ago), but all this recent bullshit just gives me a great reason to let my subscription lapse.
To answer your question, the only thing that Talisman has over other firmwares is that it is far more pretentious. While it is slated to have some cool features someday (wireless VLANS, multiple SSIDs), it is coming at the expense of basic things (PPPoE, QoS, SNMP) that should have been fixed months/years ago. While some of these advances are pretty neat, just about every other firmware distribution on the planet has at least decided to make sure all the basic things are working pretty solidly before feeling the need to experiment. Personally, I've recently moved to DD-WRT from Talisman 1.1 because there are only a few functions that I want my router to do (route, SNMP, QoS), and sveasoft has left two out of three of those broken since October.
(As a side note "DD-WRT" is censored on the sveasoft BBS. Any mention is replaced by "an Alchemy fork")
